That can't be right. Steak pie at New Year has got to have been 'a thing' from way before that Anyway, a good steak pie with mashed and roasted tatties, carrots, peas and sprouts is a thing of beauty. Especially if the steak pie is from Ewart's butchers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Steak pie is great and near impossible to source where I live. So stop moaning and get fired into the steaky goodness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksburnDandy Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Steak Pie definitely wasn't and isn't a tradition in the North East. And judging by Tesco today, not a thing in Inverness either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
